The ability of game elements to affect the functionality of those adjacent to them.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Being a military concept, it isn't to surprising that Wargames such as Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge and World War 3 are the primary users of Zone of Control.

Other games that adopted the use of Zone of Control include several installments of the Civilization series and Bloodbowl, the later which uses Zone of Control to make throwing and catching the ball move difficult if opponents are nearby. It also lets players try to tackle those that try to run pass opponents.
